Paved Paridise (Big Yellow Taxi)

[kitteh5625]

nice work on the animation although i don't agree with what the femal bunny is wearing at the end

[ChuckMeIntoHell]

@kitteh5625 You mean a bow? If you're upset that she's not wearing a top, with the bow on her ear, she's wearing a heck of allot more than that male bunny!

[JazmineTCat]

@cjinnett Again thanks for the upload...

[JazmineTCat]

@cjinnett Rachel Carson died in 1April 14, 1964...ironically from the complications from undergoing chemotherapy due to breast cancer...I always believed that Joni Mitchell song was both a tribute to her and a sort of carrying on of her legacy...

[JazmineTCat]

@cjinnett Don't put this version down its good & its faster then my having to wait the flash site your link sent me to. Great way to illustrate it...like the idea of the cooking show in the beginning...excellent sense of humor.

By the way, the line about DDT is almost a direct quote from the book by Rachel Carson called Silent Spring in it she points out how many of the DDT where indeed keeping the fruit spotless but the cost would be a silent spring because it would kill the birds etc.

[sjavalin]

the female bunny has a nice rack lolol

[AlbinoBlackSheep]

Heh. Isn't the singer of Counting Crows also a bunny in their Accidentally In Love video?

Good Flash work.

[cjinnett]

Yeah he is, and strangely I started making this before that video came out. Maybe bunny is his spirit animal, lol.

[AlbinoBlackSheep]

@cjinnett Maybe he got the idea from you. :)

Do you still animate or was this a one time thing? Would be wonderful to have you submit to the albinoblacksheep site.

[cjinnett]

I haven't animated in a while, but I do have this show idea buzzing around in my head that I have started a little bit of, but I don't know if I'll get around to finishing it.

[JazmineTCat]

@cjinnett my cat likes your video and especially your explanation...she says she is going to attack the big yellow taxi...lol.

[CAPcadetNick]

5/5 stars.

is this song possibly saying that you should appreciate all of the things in your life because you don't know how important they are until they leave/get taken away?

You are so cute!!!!! And talented...

[ahyee135]

Ahh, the big yellow taxi implies a bulldozer which which takes the animals away from their paradise and paves parking lots.

[ahyee135]

i like your concept of the earth's color turning into grey due to all the trees were turned into parking lots. GOOD Job!

Thanks!

[markotedtling]

too cute:)

[ashleroy]

Wow... Man you could have a real future in animation if you want it! I have seen come pretty good animators make worse stuff than this! You have some real talent here! Nice Job!

[cloudkookoolander]

this is so cute, great job, thanks man!!

[thegirlintube]

what does the 'big yellow taxi' really imply?

[cjinnett]

Big Yellow Taxi is the actual name of the song (although most people call it Paved Paridise.) If you mean what does the big yellow taxi in the video imply, it's supposed to be something that takes animals away and puts them in a zoo type environment.

[RajahBabe112]

I really really liked this videoo! :)

[IAMTHEL0RAX]

Great job! I was looking for a video relevant to the song. Glad I found yours. Thanks!
